1 Photogrammetric Point Clouds
2 Origins of digital point clouds: Basics have been around since the 1980s. Images had to be referenced to one another. The user had to specify either where the camera was in space or what parts of images overlapped. Referencing each image to one another was a fairly tedious process. A DEM generated in 1989 from Spot-1 satellite imagery.
3 Early work was done in the 90s on a landscape scale with stereo satellite images Resolution was too coarse for forest estimates. Computing power wasn t available for high resolution reconstructions.
4 In the mid 2000s there was a revolution.. Algorithms were developed to identify the same spot in multiple pictures. This meant you didn t have to tell the computer how the two images were aligned with one another Now you could feed in dozens or even hundreds of images at a time and the computer could figure out how they related to one another. This process is known as Structure-from-Motion The motion refers to the movement of a point from one photo to the next.
5 Structure from Motion (SfM) Allows us to take images at any angle and any distance and stitch them together with no user input. Traditional stereo photogrammetry required rigid flight lines, 2/3rds overlap, and no oblique photos. SfM actually performs better when photos are taken haphazardly, since they can capture more angles than just a top down view. SfM can be taken at any angle, and so can penetrate the canopy better Old stereo photos needed to be a top down perspective.
6 Structure from Motion (SfM) This cut down on flight time Allowed for less rigid flight plans Reduced the need for expensive camera equipment (off the shelf cameras work well) The combination of which makes SfM very cheap and particularly useful with drones.
7 Autonomous drones are becoming more and more common for this kind of data acquisition. -Fixed wing aircraft time can often exceed $150 dollars per hour. -Drone time is practically free Many off the shelf drones allow you to program a flight path they can follow using GPS navigation.
8 Tools Free: 123DCatch, reconstructs models from photos taken at different angles in your browser, on a phone, or tablet.
9 Tools Free: Insight3D, open source modeling
10 Tools Cheap ($50): Agisoft Photoscan Good for aerial photos Allows you to scale and georeference photos easily We use it here
11 When taking point cloud measurements, you need to either scale or georeference your images Otherwise the computer doesn t know how big things are in the model, and all measurements are arbitrary. Note the scale bars
12 With small objects, like single trees.. Walk around the object in a full circle for about two laps taking about pictures at different angles. Use a low resolution camera to cut down on processing time.
13 Once the point cloud is constructed the object needs to be isolated.. This can be tricky and time consuming, but is sure easier than slicing the tree up into pieces
14 Finally, we can solidify the object and measure volume
15 One day soon.. We may be able to snap a few images in the field and determine sawlog sizes within each tree, accounting for things like stem form and bend. This is already done at many mills, but with laser scanning
16 -Drones may be able to navigate through the forest. One day not so soon..
17 Other uses for small object point clouds.. Paleontology Archeology Video Games CSI Facial Reconstruction CGI
18 Aerial point clouds are derived the same way
19 Flying for point cloud data Photos that involve point cloud reconstruction generally need to be very high resolution. ~15cm pixels is good Color or multispectral photos work better than black and white, since there s just more information available. - A 15cm color infrared image used to create the point cloud used in Monday s lab
20 Flying for point cloud data Photo point clouds of leaf off hardwoods are unreliable. The computer can see the tree and the ground beneath it in almost the same spot, and gets confused.
21 Flying for point cloud data Low resolution photos can result in height underestimates, since the tippy tops of trees aren t clear in the photos Fortunately this can be accounted for with regression modeling, provided you know there s a problem. -Many post-ww2 historical aerial photos are just on the borderline.
22 There s one huge problem.. In a closed canopy, a passive camera can t see the ground. So we can t know actual tree height. How tall are these trees? Since the photo can t see the ground beneath them, we don t know
23 Solution 1: Use a public DEM The USGS puts out 10m resolution DEMs for the entire country based on mostly radar. You can try to use these DEMs as ground height to determine tree height PROS: Public 10m DEMs are available everywhere for free. CONS: 10m resolution isn t really enough to measure tree height unless the ground is super flat. -Most 10m (33ft) patches of forest will have ups and downs of a meter or more, screwing up your height measurements. -Shifting from one 10m cell to another can result in an instant dramatic change in tree height, which doesn t really exist in the forest.
24 Solution 2: Try to find ground points If the terrain is flat and you have enough gaps in the canopy, you can try to find ground points in the photos. This can be done by filtering out vegetation by color, and by removing sharp vertical peaks. Pros: doesn t require any external data. Cons: Doesn t work in rough terrain or with a closed canopy. You can then use these points to create your own DEM
25 Solution 3: Use a LiDAR DEM LiDAR can see beneath the forest canopy, yielding a very detailed DEM. Pros: Really the only way to make quality measurements Cons: If you flew LiDAR already why bother with stereo photos? LiDAR is way more expensive than photos.
26 The DEM Problem Many people feel aerial photogrammetric point clouds are only useful when complimenting LiDAR. It s been proposed that stereo photos would be a cheap way to update old LiDAR point clouds.
27 Forestry Uses Obviously you can measure tree heights. You can correlate many other forest biometrics with point could metrics Point cloud metrics include things like mean point height, point height at different percentiles, canopy closure, ect.. Regression equations can be developed to predict things like stem volume, tree density, basal area.. -Basal Area -Diameter Distributions -Stem Density (trees/acre) -Merchantable Volume -Sawlog Size - % Live Crown -Height -Biomass/ Carbon Stock - % Hardwood/Softwood These are the biometrics Irving predicts from point clouds.
28 From Point Clouds to Inventories 1. We break the forest into plots (10x10m cells). 2. We take a bunch of measurements of each plot s points. 3. We plot that against field measurements on the same plots, and fit a regression line. 4. We predict forest attributes on new plots. 80 th Percentile Ht Mean Ht Median Ht Max Ht
29 For example.. -Then we use the regression equation to predict stem volume on new plots, across the entire forest.
30 In reality we use machine learning algorithms instead of simple linear regression.. Random forest regression Deep neural networks
31 Finally, you can generate rasters from each plot s prediction. Each plot is a raster pixel -These rasters can be used to create stand maps, harvest plans, and forest inventories without having to go into the field.
32 Another problem.. Photogrammetric point clouds can change dramatically based on flight parameters. Flying at different times of day can result in different penetration of the sun into the canopy. This means that two point clouds of the same forest may end up different!
33 Most predictive models therefore are only good for the specific set of photos they were developed on Thanks to this problem and the DEM problem, photogrammetric point clouds have been somewhat sidelined in favor of LiDAR. An aerial photo A SfM point cloud 5x5m pixels colored by tree height
34 In conclusion: Who needs field crews when you ve got evil spider drones? Pretend Tom Cruise is a tree..
